Yes they are.

The more you use them, the more spores they get.
Then question is how to impede their reproduction and their feeding.
Reproduction stopped by heat and dryness has been already referred.
I doubt exposing them to light by itself (well, uv light can rise questions
about intensity of uv exposure by itself and its relation to temperature
increase) has any effect since they don't have clorophylle; I think they are
indifferent to light exposure (some dermatologic fungi diseases are evident
only when person is exposed to sunlight) but they avoid growing on sunny
places just because of temperature and dryness.
Since they feed from organic matter, the more dirt inside a lens the more
food they have.

Well another question rises here because this temperature range may make
focusing ring lubrication more fluid, I think.
IMHO,
